Sherlock Holmes/Quantum Leap (NC-17)

Title: “Angel Unaware” by Legion
Pairing: Holmes/Watson, Sam/Al; het references
Author on LJ: unknown; e-mail is Legionsfx@aol.com
Author Website: Legion’s Hidey Hole
Why this must be read:

“I need help locating a missing person.”

“A relative? Or a lover, perhaps, who departed too hastily after a misunderstanding?”

“I wouldn’t waste your time or skills with something so simple,” our un-named acquaintance hastened to assure us.

“Indeed? Then whom precisely do you wish us to seek on your behalf?” Holmes asked.

“Myself.”


An altruistic American suffering from amnesia turns to Holmes and Watson for help; an ocean and decades away, the client’s closest friend prays for a way to bridge the gulf separating them. Readers unfamiliar with Quantum Leap will have no trouble following the story, since the author smoothly incorporates the necessary details of the TV show, while QL fans will probably share my pleasure over finding a happy postscript to the infuriating and heartbreaking series finale. As for Holmes and Watson, although they never possess the full facts of the case they are more than satisfied by its resolution.

Oh, I've read this one before! It's very good, and an unusual crossover idea. Thank you very much for reccing it.
